Frosty Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 If you told me they were leaving Italy today, I would just smile and wave. The presentation of information is so much better than the Tour. Gen, Vetplant and 'Dale 3

The presentation of information is so much better than the Tour. Late for the start... no worries. Just roll back on the GCN+ App. No need to remember to start the PVR in time or be left hanging if they start earlier than the TV schedule. I can live with GCN+ for all cycling coverage going forward. Especially when you get coverage from km0. Frosty 1
Chris_ Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 Is it the same okes who do the GCN youtube shows that are commentating?

Dan Lloyd popping in from time to time. Chris_ and TNT1 2
devocean Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 Anyone else that can't stand Sean Kelly commentary? TheoG and Sid the Sloth 2

Vetplant Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 BTW. Don't know if it was mentioned previously, but SAGAN was docked 1 UCI point for his shenanigans yesterday. No Ciclamino points lost though.

Anyone else would have dismissed Dan Martin's chances of winning the other day, given the time gap at the bottom of the final climb, and Kelly called it 100%. He seems to have stayed close to racing and his insights are very good. Is it his accent? Frosty, Gen and Vetplant 3

A lot of the British commentators are so pro Brit that it puts one off riders at times and when there is a s a lull during the race they speak about the biggest load of nonsense and try create controversy where there is none. So yeah I pefer King Kelly.. TNT1 and Vetplant 2
Frosty Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 Some of the other commentators not mentioned are: Brian Smith Adam Blythe Marty Macrossan (did some of the Classics) - remember the Virtual RVV from last year - he was the one commentating on the Zwift race. Charlton Kirby has moved on, after what I believe was due to him talking gibberish, being drink and not well liked by the greater audience. Gen and Vetplant 2

Vetplant Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 Bike Exchange slots into the front to keep things close for Yates... 3min Gap for the break. Yates looking to try and clock a stage victory, 10 Bonus seconds could be very welcome.
